Dragonfly - Southern charm on the North end of Anna Maria Island

Dragonfly is a private retreat located right across the street from the sugary white sands of famous Bean Point Beach in Anna Maria, Florida. Glimpse sparkling turquoise waters from upper floor bedrooms, frolic in the pool with spa and sundeck, and outdoor kitchen, or create culinary delights in the gourmet kitchen with dual-zone wine cooler and Thermador gas range. Wide open decks with retractable privacy and sun screens plus generously sized rooms enhance guest comfort and offer plenty of space for relaxing moments or celebratory events.
PLEASE NOTE: This property is offered exclusively through VRBO/Home Away and its affiliated entities. Fraudulent bookings through any other service or website are invalid and subject to immediate cancellation without return of deposit.

AMI star

We have rented several houses on AMI and this was by far the best. The location to the beach and the house itself are just great. But the attention to detail of what renters might need in a beach house was top notch. The bikes, the beach toys and equipment and the kitchen supplies, the games, the towels and pool equipment made our stay so easy and luxurious. This property is so great for kids with the putting area, the spa tub, the ping pong table and lots of other yard games and balls. We had great check-in help and when we needed help with the pool temp we had immediate response from the management team. Really, there’s not one negative thing to say. Thank you for this lovely stay.

Family return to Anna Maria

Wonderful house, beautifully kitted out, equipped with everything you might need! The property managers were extremely helpful and responsive. The only very small negative is that because of the location of the house and the amount of development work currently underway, it was occasionally noisy around the pool area during the day - although this wouldn’t put us off returning to the property.

We LOVE Dragaonfly!

Amazing location on the quiet end of the island, just steps out to Bean Point (best beach on the island). The house and pool area are spacious and accommodated our large group very comfortably. The deck is our favorite hang out spot. The owners thought of everything to make our stay wonderful, we highly recommend staying at this property.
